If there is such a demand for using 30 year old lenses as you claim, why isn't there any demand for having a DSLR that takes Canon FD lenses (with full functionality)? Nothing prevents Canon from making an FD mount DSLR that takes the 10 - 20 million FD lenses out there. The answer is that there is no such demand and thats why Canon doesn't bother. pål
